A new SurveyUSA poll of the Washington Senate race shows Republican Dino Rossi leading Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, 52%-45%.
This is the first SurveyUSA poll conducted for the state’s general election since April, when Rossi led 52%-42%. The new findings come on the heels of an August 18 Rasmussen poll that showed Murray up on Rossi by four-points, 50%-46%. These are the first two surveys conducted since Murray and Rossi easily advanced out of Washington’s “Top Two” primary last week.
The TPM Poll Average finds Rossi with a slim advantage in the race, 48.0%-47.7%. The latest SurveyUSA poll’s margin of error is ±4.0 percentage points.
